INSIDE ISSUE NUMBER 28 THIS WEEK'S HEADLINES
Wishing all our subscribers a merry Xmas and a Happy New Year... since issue No. 28 is our last one for 2002. KultureFlash will shut-down for the holidays and resume service on Wednesday 15/01/03.

As a result, this week's issue contains many more events than usual, and in particular, all those that we perceive as being of interest until mid January, since we want to make sure that you stay as culturally active as possible during our break! However, as you will notice, given the extensive list, this time we have simply listed the events as opposed to previewing and reviewing them.

The above photograph is Valerie Stahl von Stromberg's second (to see her first one go to Issue no. 27). She hails from Germany but now lives and works in London. To find out more about her and corner picture, dancing go to her Bio/Essay Page.

We like feedback (questions, praise and or criticism), so please don't hesitate to email us at: feedback@kultureflash.net.

BOOK REVIEW
 

Spoon
Edited by: Ron Arad, Giulio Cappellini...
Phaidon, £45

Phaidon brought us Cream (contemporary art), Blink. (photography), Vitamin P (painting), and now Spoon. You should know the score by now: 10 curators (in this case: Ron Arad, Giulio Cappellini...), pick approximately 100 of the world's top designers (A-POC, Bouroullec Brothers, Jay Mays, Thomas Meyerhoffer, Ora-Ito, Michael Young...). Spoon covers a vast array of different products and styles and presents a fantastic overview of today's most innovative and cutting-edge industrial design. The book includes bios, drawings, sketches, models and photographs. For all of you design buffs and even you novices out there, Spoon (interestingly wrapped in metal) is an essential guide to the wonders and beauty of modern design.

Buy Spoon online or buy it through Walther Koenig Books at the Serpentine Gallery (020.7706.4907).

Giveaway: We have one copy of Spoon to give away. It'll go to one randomly picked subscriber who can tell us the name of the firm that designed the Blur Building at this year's Swiss Expo.
